Motherhood = Sacrifices

I just bought this book yesterday, "The Mission of Motherhood".

Currently in the process of reading it. It's a good and easy read. The author Sally Clarkeson is an experienced mother. I enjoy her writing style.. she writes of her own humble experiences and interacts with her readers.

Here are just a few lessons I have learnt so far:

1. Women should not think that they can build a successful career and home at the same time - it's just not possible

2. Motherhood is a noble calling and calls for A LOT A LOT of sacrifices

3. God's design for a mother is this: "her home is her priority"

4. A child, by definition, requires a lot of his/her mother's time. Therefore, a mother should not expect to retain her own time and must expect interruptions.

It's about GIVING... giving almost everything.

As I always say, "having a child is not like having a toy".

I am so sure that it's going to be tough... learning to live out God's design for mothers. We are by nature selfish. It's not going to be easy learning to GIVE UP and to GIVE. O God, help me...

But I think one must first come to a point of being willing to embrace God's design... only then, will the learning process be much more enjoyable.

Honestly, I am quite scared, worried that I won't be able to learn the lessons well... so do pray for me ya :)
